Happily Never After

Chapter 25

Taemin stood in the cemetery, his emotionless face casted down towards the coffin lying parallel to the ground. He had been standing there for almost an hour now, yet he couldn't decide what to do. Everybody else had left, leaving him standing there alone.

"Kinzie why did you do this to me?" He whispered finally, blinking the tears away rapidly, with no success, "why?" He collapsed to his knees, putting his head in his hands and letting loud sobs escape his mouth.

"Why did you leave me? You left me just as I needed you most. How could you be so selfish?" He said angrily, pounding his fists pounding onto the hard wood covering the still body.

Again and again he hit the coffin, all the pent up anger and sadness bursting out of him. His knuckles became bloody, the casket not fazed at all, yet he seemed more satisfied by doing so.

He stood up, cradling his bloody hand to his chest, again not saying anything as he stared at the grave. The silence almost driving him insane, but it was better than saying anything. He couldn't find the words to describe how he felt or what he wanted to say to the girl in the box in front of him. When the silence became too maddening, he pulled out a little box from his pocket.

"Listen, I know you can't hear me, and I know you're gone, but I still want you to have this." He opened it, the diamond engagement ring inside glittering in the moonlight, "baby, that night. That goddamn night, I was gonna give you this. That fucking night I was gonna make you mine forever." He sat the box down on the top of the coffin, laying it underneath the arrangement of roses.

Rain started to pour from the cloudy skies above, drenching the boy who couldn't bring himself to leave, yet never wanted to stay.

"Baby I can't describe how much I hate what's happened, but since I can't find the words to describe anything, I'm just going to sing. Moments, just for you baby." He took a shaky breath, his tears mixing with the rain pelting his face. Once he found the strength, he began to sing.

"Shut the door, turn the light off I wanna stay with you, I wanna feel your love, I wanna lay beside you, I cannot hide this, even though I try." He took a last shaky breath before he turned on his heel and ran from the cemetery. He didn't understand where he was going, not did he want to. He only ran because he thought if he stood still, he would go crazy. If he kept his mind intent on keeping his body running, then maybe he could forget all of the pain he was feeling.

Flashes left in my mind...(faster)...Going back to the time...(faster)...Playing games in te street...(come on)...Kicking balls with my feet...(faster)...Dancing on in my toes...(you can do it)...Standing close to the edge...(faster)...There's a pile of my clothes...(faster)...At the edge of your bed...(come on)... As I feel myself fall...(faster)...Make a joke of it all...(fall)

As Taemin ran, he stumbled and in the end he fell straight to the ground. He didn't bother getting up, for he merely didn't care anymore, yet something about the atmosphere became relaxing, allowing him to stick with the decision.

"Oh my god Taemin." He heard a familiar voice yell, but he couldn't find the strength to get up. Soon he felt himself being lifted up, coming face to face with Onew. His soft features were scrunched into a worried look.

"Hey Onew." Taemin said, sounding too dilusional for comfort.

"Come on Taemin let's get you away from this place." He started waking Taemin away from the cemetery, the place where Taemin surprisingly ended up.

"But what about Kinzie?" Taemin asked, looking back to where her grave was, her coffin was now being lowered into the ground. Onew just patted his back and led him to the car, where the others were waiting for him.

"Are you ok Taemin?" Minho asked, taking him from Onew. Taemin nodded and ran a hand through his hair. He put him in the car and they drove off.

Taemin usually wasn't a writer. He had bigger and better things to do, but when he got home from the cemetery, he decided that he needed to write. He had to write something for Kinzie. He had to, for both him and her.

-I saw the headlights heading towards

me and then only darkness. I could see every memory in my mind flash before my eyes and then I felt a sharp pain. Pain and then nothing. I could hear someone calling my name, but I was too gone to notice who it was. I smiled as a bright light appeared and someone appeared, beckoning for me to join her.

I slowly stood up, and looked back down at my body and the darkness around me, then followed her.

I looked back once more and then I saw him. He was holding my body and stroking my hair, tears streaming down his face. He was rocking back and forth, and screaming for help. I could feel my heart break for him, and I went over to him. I held my hand up to stroke his face, but he couldn't feel anything.

"I love you My angel." I whispered into his ear, and he stopped. He looked around, a hopeful look on his tear stained face, but when he saw that I wasn't there he assumed the same position he was in before. I kissed his forehead and then turned back towards the light. I grabbed the persons hand and walked into it, feeling all the pain and evil go away.-

He didn't know why, but seeing this on paper, made him feel better. Almost as if seeing a happy ending for her on the page, meant a happy ending for her in real life. He didn't know if it was true, but he would like to think that his angel ended up in a happy place, watching over him and Tyler as they lived their everyday lives.
